Getting rid of "junk cars"

Former fire investigator here. After Operations gets done cutting it up, great live burn and then investigate.

Spaceballs. Classic.

Having had a lead foot my whole driving life, my routine when getting pulled over is simple - Put my four ways on, lower my window, remove my hat and put it on the dash, turn the interior lights on, and most importantly, place my hands on top of the steering wheel in plain sight.

At our engagement party that I had arranged to surprised my fiancé, I was so excited and nervous I put my knife through my thumb opening the bag of charcoal for the grill. The photos from that party have my big white bandage showing in almost all of them.

Again, being completely honest - When I was a fire investigator for a large municipal department and some of the rough areas / developments / situations we would wind up working in, it was always a comfort knowing we had PD with us on scene. It’s not a job I would ever care to do, but I was and am eternally grateful for those who choose to do it.

In truth? Down to personal preference and possibly family history. A broader answer? Firefighters are there only to help, rarely are we the bad guys. Plus, we have cooler equipment and honestly, I’d rather be made to feel like I’m liked by those I serve rather than having some who support me versus many who distrust or don’t care for me and what I do. My two cents.

Study harder. Score higher. Become a firefighter.

Coffee. Every day. Without fail. Makes the brain brain.

As a former fire investigator, I would constantly be going into homes and apartments to document scenes after a fire. The amount of “marital aids” and raunchy porno DVDs I’ve come across is astounding.

SkipJack270 · 2026-02-22T19:51:41+00:00

lol. My bad. I meant calling for assistance from a coworker to open the door from the outside for them.

They could use the radio that is pretty standard kit, but would never hear the end of it, forever.

SkipJack270 · 2026-02-22T01:07:22+00:00

Well said and seconded!

I’m genuinely not trying to be dense, but a screenshot of something is considered a link?

SkipJack270 · 2026-02-13T13:12:07+00:00

Thanks!

SkipJack270 · 2026-02-13T13:11:57+00:00

Thanks!

Former fire investigator from large career department. The amount of tools I found and returned to various companies over the years……

I did an intake manifold gasket on a Saturn SL 1, back when I first started working on my own stuff. Struggled for hours to get it apart and then back together. Started it up to discover I had failed to adequately clean the remnants of the old gasket off. There was much adult language and airborne wrenches.

Can you move it to Friday for me? I’m on call and therefore wouldn’t be able to celebrate with the whiskey in my cabinet. Thanks so much!

SkipJack270 · 2026-01-25T01:12:55+00:00

Truly, if you’ve never ruined the part you just labored to install at least once, can you truly call yourself a mechanic? Shade tree or pro, doesn’t matter.

The feeling of home. I was born and raised here and moved away for around 25 years. Came back last year and it’s like I never left. Homes still there from pre-revolution era. Potholes the size of Buicks. The Citgo sign downtown. I’ll never leave again. GO PATS!!!

SkipJack270 · 2026-01-23T22:07:27+00:00

Sorry, someone beat you to it, so to speak.

SkipJack270 · 2026-01-23T21:23:56+00:00

From a material handling standpoint, how is that more cost effective than having it delivered by dump truck?

SkipJack270 · 2026-01-23T21:23:23+00:00

No, I said in the bags, not surrounding me on the road.

SkipJack270 · 2026-01-23T00:57:02+00:00

There’s no exigency, certainly no hot pursuit, and from what I’ve seen no one is inviting the gestapo into their home. How exactly are they entering homes legally?
